We already discussed this. There's really very little left to say on the subject, which is likely why the thread turned off topic. Skype's protocol is proprietary btw, which would mean mIRC would need to get permission to license it, which I highly doubt would ever happen. Video chat in general has been requested several times, and there are publicly available DLLs that do this such as ByteCam, so perhaps Khaled will do something similar, but there isn't all that much *real* interest from the community, especially since people use IRC specificially because it is text-based. If someone needed a video alternative, they would use it-- IRC is not that medium, and everyone using IRC knows that.

The conclusion seems to be that it is not likely to happen, but we'll all see what Khaled decides.

That's fine, since I don't know anyone who does that.

Let's assume for a minute, that by default, everyone worries about themself. This could mean that at any time, that we are thirsty, we would try to do something to not feel thirsty. So your request could also be redundant if my assumption were correct.

But suppose your argument was that he should only worry about himself. I would tell you that is useless: what's wrong with worrying about others?

By the way, suppose for example you said that as a defense mechanism. The fact that Collective might worry about you, wouldn't justify that you have to defend yourself by attacking. So there is nothing wrong with other people worrying about you (or in this particular case, worrying about your grammar). But why people may take offense to that could be beyond me.
